I swear this time I have a legitimate reason to be angry. Look at my house!

What the FUCK!? Where did this come from!?

It came from this son of a bitch! We can hear him pecking and it's driving us insane. (Some of us literally insane as my wife repeatedly answers the door thinking someone is knocking and then she blames it on some kids playing "Ding Dong Ditch" but replacing "Ding Dong" with "Knock Knock" even though it doesn't have nearly the same alliteration. The dog is not fooled and makes no move when he hears the pecking - "Stoopid humans.")

He has his fricking head in my house!

Here's the damage he caused in about 20 minutes of pecking.

(OK, truth be told we have tremendous dry-rot in those locations of our trim and it really needs to be replaced, but does nature have to rub salt in our wounds by making our place look so painfully ghetto that our neighbors are giving us dirty looks? Apparently so.)

I know EXACTLY how you feel. We have had a woodpecker before, except he thankfully didn't do any damage. Every morning bright and early, peck peck peck. Seriously F off.... stupid wood peckers. He eventually went away and found another house thank god (knock on wood, I don't want him back).

Ok, as a homeowner you def have the right to be outraged at this nasty little pecker that keeps coming around. Trim/home repair is not cheap. Can he afford to pay the costs you will throw at him in small claims? I think not.

I love movies, long walks on the beach, and cliches. And stealing lines from t-shirts. I have a family and some hobbies and I like to do stuff and other stuff. Don't be lazy, read my blog and you'll figure it out.

"Perseverance is more than endurance. It is endurance combined with absolute assurance and certainty that what we are looking for is going to happen. Perseverance means more than just hanging on, which may be only exposing our fear of letting go and falling. Perseverance is our supreme effort of refusing to believe that our hero is going to be conquered."
